Yes, Mahalia!, a one-woman show in tribute to Mahalia Jackson performed by singer Brenda Taylor , is making its way to Cutting Edge Theater.“Mahalia has been my muse since I was a little girl,” the jazz vocalist shared with Cutting Edge on the gospel legend’s influence on her life. “Her mesmerizing voice was a constant in my life.”
Taylor continued, Along with my classical training, the music of Negro spirituals and gospel music was further cemented into my presentation as a vocalist. The idea that I would later create a musical tribute for Mahalia; seemed natural to me. But, as I sit here now looking back, it seems so unbelievable.”
The show is described by Cutting Edge as “a synergy between gospel and Regular music. It is a fresh and soulful re-imagining of the sound that Mahalia Jackson embodied, and celebrates not only her music but her life experiences and her contribution to the world community. ”
